The honest 11+ practice app
Adaptive Maths, Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning and English for the UK senior-school entrance exams. Every question re-randomises, so your child learns the method — not memorised answers.
Free to start in your browser. No sign-up to practise. A fraction of the price of the big platforms — no lock-in.
How it works
- It adapts. Every topic has 6 levels. A few right in a row moves your child up; a wrong streak eases it back — so practice always sits at the right challenge.
- It can't be gamed. Numbers and content re-randomise every attempt, so children learn the method instead of memorising answers.
- It teaches on mistakes. A wrong answer shows why that choice was tempting, the worked solution, and the key idea — then re-tests it later (spaced review).
- You can see progress. A Parent page shows an explainable readiness band per subject, tuned to your target board (GL / CEM / ISEB / CSSE).
All four 11+ subjects
Maths
12 topics — place value to algebra, ratio, geometry, statistics. Calibrated hard (Level 1 ≈ solid Year 5/6).
Verbal Reasoning
Synonyms/antonyms, analogies, odd-one-out, letter sequences, codes, logic, word manipulation.
Non-Verbal Reasoning
Figure series, matrices, odd-one-out, analogies, rotation & reflection — fresh figures every time.

Spelling, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, cloze and reading comprehension — auto-marked.

Questions parents ask
Is it really free?
Yes — Maths practice with the full adaptive engine is free, with no account. Paid access unlocks the other three subjects, mock exams, analytics and worksheets.
Why a one-off payment, not a subscription?
11+ prep lasts a couple of years, not forever. One payment that covers the whole journey means no monthly bills and nothing to remember to cancel.
How is this different from the big platforms?
Same serious, exam-calibrated practice and adaptive difficulty — but free to start, a fraction of the price, no lock-in, and questions that re-randomise so children can't just memorise answers.
Which exam boards does it cover?
The readiness picture can be tuned to GL, CEM, ISEB or CSSE; the practice itself spans the broad 11+ syllabus across all four subjects.
Where is my child's progress stored?
On the free tier it stays in your browser. Paid accounts add a secure login so access works across devices.
